Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَمَّتَّ هَذَا وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَلَمْ تَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Adam ibn Abi Iyas narrated to us: Shubah narrated to us: Sulayman al-Taymi narrated to us, who said: I heard Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, say: Two men sneezed in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He invoked Allah’s mercy upon one of them but not the other. The man said, ‘Messenger of Allah, you invoked Allah’s mercy upon this one but not upon me.’ He replied, ‘This one praised Allah, while you did not.’
